Artifacts & Adventure: Modern-Day Treasure Hunters

Artifacts & Adventure is a rules lite treasure hunting tabletop RPG inspired by Uncharted, Tomb Raider, and Relic Hunter.

Description

In Artifacts & Adventure, players take on the role of modern-day treasure hunters who seek out lost and stolen relics, returning them to their rightful owners. Some treasure hunters work for profit, others for a sense of discovery, or simply because they believe recovering relics is the right thing to do. Treasure hunting is a life of danger, excitement, and globe-trotting adventure. 

While set in the real world, it’s not uncommon for adventures to veer off into the fantastic, when the legends surrounding the power of these artifacts prove to be true.

Game System

This complete and standalone game is based on the Tricube Tales rules system. Players roll up to three six-sided dice to overcome challenges with a difficulty of 4-6. If one or more dice meet or beat the difficulty, the player’s character succeeds.

Random Tables 

Artifacts & Adventure doubles as a system-neutral toolkit. Use the numerous d66 random tables to roll up NPCs, locations, fantastic artifacts, and even full adventure scenarios for use with your system of choice.

GM Advice

There's also pages of system-neutral GM advice on how to design adventures, handle traps and puzzles, portray memorable NPCs, and describe fantastic locations.
